A Battery of Bishops (1:300)

[Fitz]

Next up in the micro-scale desert war is this battery of Bishop 25 pounder SPGs, in 1:300 scale from Heroics & Ros.

I don't normally base vehicles, but these are an exception because of the limber; just having it attached to the Bishop by a glue point would be asking for it to break off and be irretrievably lost somewhere.

In fact, the Bishops are only attached to the base by a magnet which grips a little square of steel. The base itself is also magnetic, for secure storage and transport — the same stuff I use to base my infantry and artillery.

Outstanding work at this minuscule scale, and a good call on the bases. I never knew the Bishop SPG used a limber - is it used to carry extra ammunition?

And of course, the key question - are those Bishops CoE Liberals or Antidisestablishmentarianists?

Yes, I think (from memory) it carried an extra 25 rounds or so. Storage space inside the Bishop was pretty minimal.

And of course, the key question - are those Bishops CoE Liberals or Antidisestablishmentarianists?

C of E, of course. They try their best, but they're they're slow and frankly not really all that good at anything.
